I picked up a new CD, Dave Van Ronk, The Folkways Years
(1959-1961). Although lot of the songs are blues or jazzy
numbers, the connection to our list is perhaps not
immediately obvious. The musician's liner notes, however,
provide a link.
"Georgie on the I.R.T. By Lawrence Block, now a distinguished
mystery novelist, but back then just a bum like everybody
else. As a satirical songwriter Larry has few equals and no
superiors."
I was surprised, although I suppose you hardcore Block fans
aren't.
